Sure.
Great! So about the scene in which your character Roy Batty dies. He says, "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. C beams glittering on the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain." Can you tell us how that line came to be in the movie the way it was?
When I first read the script, my character's death scene consisted
of 300 words of techno babble. I thought it was bad timing to start
preaching at that point in the movie. I didn't think it would be good
drama. Also, when the battery of an android dies, it dies. It doesn't
have time left for an entire page of chit-chat. I thought it would be
nice to have Roy say in one sentence what he will miss about life
instead. I kept two sentences that were in the original script and
added one: "All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the
rain." I made that up. Next day on the set I told Ridley: "I lost
everything besides these three lines, what do you think about it?" And
he liked it, 'cause he said: "That's a good idea."
